Robert Pattinson #TheBatman crew prepping the Bat Mobile
If you’ve watched Rob’s press junket interviews for Tenet then you will know that Rob has confirmed that filming for The Batman will recommence soon. We’ve seen photos of the set being prepared and today the Daily Mail is reporting this:
And it seems that the things are finally getting underway as the Batmobile was seen being put through its paces at Cardington Airfield on Thursday.
Crew were seen taking two cars that had been decked out to resemble the Caped Crusader’s new ride out of a van.
Head over to Daily Mail via link to check out the series of photos. I’m loving that they are using a “muscle car”.
@CapitalOfficial Talks to Robert Pattinson about his #TheBatman Voice

Robert Pattinson #TheBatman Trailer features twist on Nirvana’s “Something in the Way”
As soon as I heard the song on the trailer I thought – wow this is reminiscent of Nirvana. I had never heard this version before. PopSugar gives us the following background:
The song playing in the trailer is a version of Nirvana’s “Something in the Way,” but it’s not quite the track you’re probably used to hearing. Originally, “Something in the Way” was the last song on the band’s breakout album, Nevermind, in 1991, and while it never became a gigantic hit single, it’s had a long life and a fair bit of popularity over the past 30 years. In its original form, it’s a softer, more stripped-down song, featuring acoustic guitar and even a bit of cello.
For the trailer, however, someone — presumably the film’s composer, Michael Giacchino, … tweaked and rearranged the classic song to better suit an introduction to this particularly dark and corrupt Gotham. This version of the song is epic, with big orchestral swells and heavy, thudding percussion, matching the dark and sinister vibe of the first glimpse of this Batman.
The song itself is pretty bleak on its own, painting a picture of brutal struggles to survive. “Underneath the bridge / The tarp has sprung a leak / And the animals I’ve trapped / Have all become my pets / And I’m living off of grass,” the main verse goes.

Robert Pattinson and Matt Reeves sneak peek at The Batman
So we no longer have to wait to see Rob’s take on The Batman/Bruce Wayne. It gives me chills – the whole teaser and Rob’s Batman voice – far exceeded my expectations. Here is Matt’s vimeo as well as Rob’s intro – WB know him well – Rob wasn’t allowed to say anything
Here’s some paraphrased comments from Matt Reeves during the DCFandome:
The Bat suit is practical – idea is Bruce made himself and so Rob had input into the suit so that he could move and fight in it. Rob had input into the Bat suit because he has to make sure he can move and fight in it. Matt also confirms that Rob’s Batman is Year Two – so he goes out looking for fights etc and rips have to remain in the bat suit etc.
Rob spoke to Christian Bale and Bale told Rob to make sure when you are wearing the suit you are able to “relieve yourself”!
On why he chose Rob for the role
Matt Reeves says Rob is an incredible actor the work Rob has done in last 6 years. A friend of his worked on The Lost City of Z and when Matt says he saw Rob with the beard he had to ask – who is that. Rob has so much charimsa. He is like a chameleon and is such a gifted actor in a really incredible way and is a tremendous passionate fan of Batman. It was incredible to connect with him and share excitement for the character. He has the soul of someone who can play a Batman that we haven’t seen before.
